Looking at the official gazettes of the Bjelovar and Bilogora
County (at <www.bbz.hr> ),
I found out that accoding to a decision in ŽG BBŽ,
nr.10/2005, p. 2, the community must have a Coat of Arms, since
they decided to have it painted on the signs where the roads
enter the communty. Actually, on the site <www.ivanska.hr>
is shown the Coat of Arms and there is indication that the
community issued the decision on the Coat of Arms and the flag.

Ivanska is a community in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County, 15 km
south of Bjelovar, 3?500 inhabitants
of which only 850 in the town of the same name. The name of the
place is developed from the patron St. John Baptist (Sv. Ivan
Krstitelj) to whom a church was built there in 14th century.
The Coat of Arms is shown on the community web site at <www.ivanska.hr>. The coat of
arms of Ivanska is: argent a bonfire inflamed proper and on a
border vert twelve daisies also argent seeded or. The
bonfire refers both to the name of the community and its patron
St. John Baptist. The daisies (Croatian ivancica) are
also canting the name. The Coat of Arms must have been adopted
some time around 2000, according to my estimate, but I have not
located the decision about this, nor the data on the flag, which
I believe is existant.

The symbols were designed by the Heralid
Art d.o.o company in Rijeka.

The county
web site now pictures a drawing of the flag. The flag is blue
with the coat of arms bordered yellow in the middle.
